My dear Siomay

The race has begun

One week later.....

The Siomay-eating race will be held today. It's all been arranged by Rendi, a former restaurant waiter who's so eager to be an employee at my shop. It doesn't seem like that's the only goal, he also seems to like my sister Erna. But Erna looks careless and has not realized it.

Refrigerator gifts, washing machines and tvs are already on display in the store. I was surprised by the prize for the champion 1 to 3, because the price is quite expensive if I provide it myself, fortunately Rendi will bear the prize for this race in accordance with what she said before. I became suspicious it seemed like Rendi was not just any ordinary servant. Is he an electronics shop manager?it could be, but for what he works in my shop if I have my own business ha..ha.., a funny daydream tickles me, in between the preparation of the race I smile myself. Tio was watching me from earlier.

"Why are you smiling at your own smile?", Tio felt strange about my behavior. I quickly woke up and stopped smiling.

"No, I just want to smile", and I throw a glance at the queue of people who have snaked want to buy siomay. Today we split the tasks into 2 groups, one focused on selling and the other on the race. This moment is one of the promotions for people to get to know my dear Siomay. I give up all my family, Erna, Edo, Ridho,Auntie also special Rina came today all to witness the rare events that we do not see every day also they with their own wishes are willing to help me to succeed this event.

Mas Zein, Tio and I will be the judges added with the person who brought Mas Zein who was deliberately involved to help during the race.Sedika Erna, Ridho and Edo helped me serve the buyer. My aunt and Rina asked me to just sit down and watch this show. This competition is intended for adults, with the rule of who eats the most siomay in a certain time then he will bring the gift that is already available. Participants were limited to 50 people. Of the 50 people will be seen who can spend as much siomay and who are not strong will fall in the middle of the road.

"Sir, we lack siomay, there is still no?", Erna asked.

"have Brother prepared, everything is in the freezer, just removed first, kept quiet, after a while just put into the pot to warm" I replied.

"Ok, Erna take it first", Erna while going to take siomay.

People look so enthusiastic, in addition to being able to eat free siomay participants can also bring interesting gifts.

The show starts at exactly 9 a.m. Rendi becomes the host who will guide this event until it is finished. After the event opened there was little entertainment to attract the attention of people so that more and more people attended this event.

"Before we go to the core event we will watch the dance of the cute children who will dance siomay dance, welcome to watch!", Tio invites the audience to applaud the dancers.

The little boy smoothly danced siomay dance, they were trained by Randi. Somehow Randi has an idea to train this siomay dance. He really has a strong determination to be a part of my siomay tavern. The event continued with a welcome reception and arrived at the core event.

In the middle of the event arrived power outages, even though in the place next to the lights on.

"Kok turned off the lights anyway, when again the thrill!",

"Dead the lights again, make people curious" the audience commented.

Immediately Mas Zein and Tio help to solve the problem. Apparently there was a blackout for some power users and my shop was hit by a blackout. Tio and Mas Zein borrowed the generator owned by the stall next door. After that, the electricity was on. We continue the show.

"That's our time at the core event of today's event, the siomay eating contest. The participants are expected to be ready to participate in this event", Rendi hosted the event with great enthusiasm.

"Everyone is out!", Tio also Mas Zein asked people to save themselves and get out of the store. Finally the race stopped for a moment. Siomay dining competitions are actually held outside the store, while inside is specifically for people who want to buy siomay. After a few minutes, he walked without a loudspeaker. Rendi is seen speaking in a loud voice, so that the audience can hear clearly.

"We start the siomay meal, let's count together. One .....two......three!",Rendi gives aba aba. The participants ate siomay voraciously, apparently they deliberately did not eat breakfast so that their stomachs could contain a lot of siomay. The audience cheered the participants. The cheers of the people supporting the participants sounded so loud. After a while, they begin to fall one by one. They could not stand the siomay that so many entered their stomachs.

"Come, excitement!come on!", the voices of the cheering audience sounded so clear.

"If I had been on this show, I might have spent hundreds of siomays, I actually wanted to come along, but you forbade me", Tio with a frown.

"You don't have to run the race, I know you're going to eat that siomay fast. But I feel you're right to be a judge to help me pick a winner" I smiled.

Tio simply fell silent and did not reply. He looks like he wants to eat that siomay.

"It's nice for you that I've prepared a special" I told Tio.

The penoton more and more, because of the limitations of the place, they ended up pushing each other and caused some of the audience to be hit. I was very worried and asked Rendi to bring order to the audience for their safety.

"Please do not encourage each other so as not to have an accident, for the audience next to it, can join over here", Rendi guided the audience to a safe place.

So crowded the event to not feel sweat pouring in my bidat, even though my job is just sitting and looking at the participants.

Over time the number of participants shrank, so that five people survived. With maximum effort they try to put siomay into their stomachs. Some encourage it by drinking, some eat it slowly.

"Let's get some spirit!".

"You can do it!".

The sound of the audience cheering the participants brings the atmosphere becomes more tense. One person looks to give up and already raise a hand will not continue the race. 4 Participants left. They are still trying even though everything looks full.

"Who will get the gift of a refrigerator, washing machine and tv that is here?we continue to see the four participants who are still fighting for the champion position", Rendi said on the sidelines of the race.

One participant was seen giving up and 3 more people were left. From there began to gradually get winners in succession from champion one to champion three.

People cheered when they found out the last player was champion one. The person closest to him jumped in joy when he found out he was the last remaining participant.
